Summary of Maajid Nawaz's Radical

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was born in the late seventies, the same time hip-hop was busting its first moves in New York. The B-boys in the Bronx started it all, poppin’ and lockin’ to the original loops. I grew up feeling far more equipped to deal with cultural differences because I had grown up in a minority community.

#2 The city of Gujrat is known for its clan-based gangsters, and its women are said to be beautiful. My Nana Abu, my maternal grandfather, grew up in Gujrat, and he had a deep fascination with the English doctor who lived on the hospital grounds with his family. He wanted to be a doctor when he was married and had children.

#3 Nana Abu was a traditional Muslim, and he expected his children to accept arranged marriages to other Muslims. He took advantage of his right to live in the UK and immigrated there with his wife and children.

#4 My mother, who was born and raised in the UK, was very liberal and progressive in her outlook. She encouraged me to read from an early age, and I have many memories of the sorts of books I read at the time.
